Published at Energy Conversion and Management – Comparative study of process simulation, energy and exergy analyses of solar enhanced char-cycling biomass pyrolysis process

Abstract: Pyrolysis is an efficient technology for converting biomass into value-added products, characterized by endothermal reactions. The introduction of induced solar irradiance can boost product yields and reduce carbon emissions associated with incineration....

What happened with Crescent Dunes?

What happened with Crescent Dunes?

The Crescent Dunes CSP project in the US was the first of a kind: The first tower CSP with thermal energy storage at full-scale; 110 MW. (Above about 150 MW, the distances of the solar field encircling the tower receiver has optical limits) It was developed by the...

Published at Applied Catalysis – Structured sulphur trioxide splitting catalytic systems and allothermally-heated reactors for the implementation of Sulphur-based thermochemical cycles via a centrifugal solar particle receiver

Published at Applied Catalysis – Structured sulphur trioxide splitting catalytic systems and allothermally-heated reactors for the implementation of Sulphur-based thermochemical cycles via a centrifugal solar particle receiver

Abstract: Catalytic sulphur trioxide splitting is the highest-temperature (850–900 °C), endothermic step of several sulphur-based thermochemical cycles targeted to production of hydrogen or solid sulphur. The demonstrated capability of centrifugal particle solar...
